CMP’s “environmental, clean” corridor is not environmentally sound nor is their thievery reimbursement adequate. The source of this corridor power comes from dams built by destroying thousands of acres of forests, killing wildlife, and displacing Indigenous peoples by putting their communities under water. Forests are important carbon sinks and what has been lost by creating these dams will never be replaced by this so-called “clean power.” No foreign entity should ever own any part of Maine, especially our infrastructure — but they do! We need to stop worrying about migrants taking our jobs — because they don’t. We need to start worrying about corporations taking our resources and controlling our infrastructure — because they do! ~ Leslie Poole, Rockland
